Familiarity and pride

On high houses
high horses and dreams of high classes
Your life stories now refined and compact
Nostalgia is your courier

Most of us shallow wanters
Seeking above all of it flavor
Tell us about the time you tasted
the poverty of sophistication

The meager experience toasted as rich
stamped by connoisseurs for approval
The time you ate a hedgehog
and selected a fine wine to accompany it's effect on the palate

Taste the list of things eloquent self important chefs recommend
Afternoon nap and troubled sleep for cheese grills nearby
Taste the base of the twiggy mess
the uneven batter and the sour insides

Taste purple life
the tongue a magnet
electric saliva
fear of the poets menu

What's cooking for the shallow wanters today
Taste testers knife and fork in hand
eat your old skin under the pergolas nicely
For nothing we've served you sufficed
